La Energía potencial es la energía que tiene un cuerpo situado a una determinada altura sobre el suelo. Ej.: El agua embalsada, que se manifiesta al caer y mover la hélice de una turbina.        La energía potencial, Ep, se mide en julios (J), la masa, m se mide en kilogramos (kg), la aceleración de la gravedad, g, en metros/segundo-cuadrado (m/s2) y la altura, h, en )m(

The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects. For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the earth) and h is the height in meters.

A type of Lead (Pb) ion has a + 4 oxidation number. Sulfur (S) has a — 2 oxidation number. What would be the chemical formula fo
serious [3.7K]

Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here metal lead is having an oxidation state of +4 called as Pb^{4+} cation and sulphur non metal has oxidation state of -2 called as S^{2-}. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral PbS_2

The chemical formula for the compound of these two elements is PbS_2

A speed truck locks it’s brakes and it skids to a stop. If the truck’s total mass were doubled, it’s skidding distance would be?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The skidding distance would be doubled

Explanation:

When the truck applies the brakes and slows down, its motion is a uniformly accelerated motion, so its skidding distance can be found by using the suvat equation

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v = 0 is the final velocity (zero since the truck comes to a stop)

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the skidding distance

The acceleration can also be written as

a=\frac{F}{m}

where F is the force applied by the brakes and m the mass of the truck. Substituting into the previous equation,

-u^2 = 2\frac{F}{m}s\\s = -\frac{mu^2}{2F}

We see that the skidding distance is proportional to the mass: therefore, if the mass of the truck is doubled, the skidding distance will double as well.

Calculate the force of gravity on the 0.50-kg mass if it were 6.4×106 m above earth's surface (that is, if it were two earth rad
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Radius of Earth is given as

R = 6.4 * 10^6 m

now here the height from the surface of earth is same as that of radius

h = 6.4 * 10^6 m

now here the acceleration due to gravity at this height is given as

g' = \frac{GM}{(R+h)^2}

g' = \frac{GM}{4R^2}

g' = \frac{g}{4}

now the force of gravity on the given object will be

F = mg'

F = m*\frac{g}{4}

F = 0.5 * \frac{9.8}{4}

F = 1.225 N

<em>so the force of gravity on it is 1.225 N</em>
